Title: How rare is my car?
Post by: cmw on September 12, 2009, 07:10:37 PM: Hello to everyone, I am a new member. I recently purchased a RS/SS x22 car in very poor condition. I am currently restoring the car and was looking for help with the number of cars with the same color combinations and options. I am aware that it is very hard to get the exact number of cars. It is dover white with a black vinyl top, blacked out rear tailpanel, blacked out rockers and has as black hockey stripe. The car has red standard interior without console gauges. It does have the RS option. I read about the number of cars with white paint and the number of red interiors produced. I was hoping to narrow down the number of cars built with these options. Thank you for any help. :)

I was not sure if you took the number of SS cars produced (33,980) and figured the percentage of them with white paint and then figured the percentage of cars with red interior?

I've never seen one like that but I've seen a couple with the blue interior. I hope you restore it to that configuration and would love to see some pics. I think it would look great.
